There are just five days left to pick up a copy of our two new books before the introductory price increase evaporates.

There is The Little Book of Meditation, which I think is now the best how to guide on mediation in print, and Internal Martial Arts Nei-gong.

= = = = = THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEDITATION = = = = =

I have reduced hundreds of possible meditations you might try in life to the BIG FOUR you might want to master – (1) mantra practice or prayer recitation, (2) mental watching (mindfulness, introspection, cessation-witnessing or vipassana), (3) visualization practice [including the white skeleton technique], and (4) breathing practices of pranayama together with anapana, which hardly anyone ever discusses. There are also discussions on the seeing the light method, sexual cultivation, diet and detoxification and how to make up a meditation schedule. Since it’s 388 pages I finally had space to write it all down. It can even be used as a teacher’s text. Check it out.

The Little Book of Meditation

= = = = = = INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS NEI-GONG = = = = =

Inside this book you will learn how to cultivate inner gong-fu, how this ties in with the martial arts tradition, and practice details for how not to go astray. This is a very practical book that discusses many martial arts topics that are rarely found in this genre, it spends a great deal of time talking about how to cultivate the Taoist notion of shen, or awareness, which becomes possible after all your channels have been opened and your mind becomes clear and calm. There is also a new detailed discussion on how to cultivate the Six Yogas of Naropa, together with Samantabhadra’s mantra method for opening up the body’s central channel.

I wrote this to help martial artists, but frankly, if will help anyone who is a regular meditator who wants to concentrate on cultivating internal energies for special abilities and/or powers, and if you liked the Little Book of Hercules, this is right up your alley. It’s has helped all my students who are not martial artists because they’ve learned so much they have applied to their ordinary cultivation practice.

You can find the book at Internal Martial Arts Nei-gong

I have finally finished two (2) paperback book projects for the holidays – the first on how to meditate, and the second on cultivating internal gong-fu (especially slanted for martial artists).

= = = = = THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEDITATION = = =

The first new book, which I am really excited about because I think it will become the definitive how to meditate properly book that will help a lot of people, is entitled THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEDITATION. This new book on how to meditate, and its effects on your body and mind, is like my Hercules book in that it is just as large (388 pages), and contains topics rarely discussed. I’m sure it will help even long time meditation practitioners because of some of the contents.

Over the years people have seemed to keep asking me the same questions on meditation time and time again, and I’ve answered the most common “how to” and “why does this work” and “why does that happen” questions about meditation in this book. Plus, I’ve thrown in a lot of extras …

I have reduced hundreds of possible meditations you might try in life to the BIG FOUR you might want to master – mantra practice, mental watching (mindfulness, introspection, cessation-witnessing or vipassana), visualization practice, and breathing practices of pranayama together with anapana, which hardly anyone ever discusses.

This book contains all the detailed instructions and tips on how to practice these meditation techniques effectively for genuine deep results. In fact, you know our books contain real contents rather than fluff. These 2 books will not disappoint anyone along these lines. There is more new but extremely useful information here on effective meditation practice than you will find in print anywhere else such as how to cultivate these techniques correctly, signs of progress, and what they are all about.

It also covers detailed practice instructions for the famous 9-bottled wind pranayama technique I always mention, and incredible details on the white skeleton visualization practice from India that I have not put anyplace else. Since it’s 388 pages I finally had space to write it all down.

This new book is very practical and contains a lot from the western traditions. It doesn’t just concentrate on these big four meditation methods, but reveals practice instructions and details on several others as well such as seeing the light, sexual cultivation and so on. There are even discussions on diet and detoxification supplements for cleaning out your body. The important thing is that it shows how to work two or more of the most effective meditation techniques into a busy schedule, and how to change your behavior. If you wanted just one book on how to meditate for yourself, or as a gift for friends to teach them how to meditate or introduce them to the topic, that’s this book! Check it out.

https://www.createspace.com/3754311

This book was written with the objective of creating a definitive source for how to meditate, answering all the common questions about meditation that I am sure have popped up in your mind over time but you had no one to ask about. It can even be used as a teacher’s text. I wanted to make it good enough that you could give it to friends who want to learn meditation for better health, energy, mental clarity, longevity or for spiritual purposes, and it covers all those bases and more. Therefore I have included lots of stories about my teacher, Master Nan Huai Chin, and how he defeated a holy fox spirit on Omei mountain, or would handle qi-gong visitors, or deal with people coming to him who had done great evil deeds and wanted to change their karma and behavior.

It’s at: https://www.createspace.com/3754311

Grab it during the holidays at the discount price and pick up a copies for friend before the new price increase at the new year. This is GIHUGIC at 388 pages, (I only wanted to keep it at 50 pages when I started) and the stories will entertain you. Plus, if you like Vedanta and Zen, per requests I have included such high level wisdom discussions within to describe the nature of the human being and your mind. These discussions are also rare to be found in print.

= = = = = = INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS NEI-GONG = = = = =

On to book number two for martial artists which is also available for the holidays at a discounted price soon to go up: INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS NEI-GONG. This book was already released as an ebook earlier this year, and those download files have been updated to contain most of the new materials found in this print edition, which make it about 25% larger. So if you already bought the ebook, just download your file again and you’ll have most of these new materials. We put the book into print because of all the requests for a paperback, so we had to add a little extra, and we certainly did.

https://www.createspace.com/3739551

Inside this book you will learn how to cultivate inner gong-fu, how this ties in with the martial arts tradition, and practice details for how not to go astray. This is a very practical book that discusses many martial arts topics that are rarely found in this genre, and this new edition is quite different from the ebook in that it spends a great deal of time talking about how to cultivate the Taoist notion of shen, or awareness, which becomes possible after all your channels have been opened and your mind becomes clear and calm.

There is also a new detailed discussion on how to cultivate the Six Yogas of Naropa, together with Samantabhadra’s mantra method for opening up the body’s central channel. There are also discussions on anapana and the white skeleton visualization, although far more details are found in the Little Book of Meditation. The results of some interviews with a few top martial artist in China were worked into the new volume, and there is also a large emphasis on the idea of 10,000 hours of practice for mastering any skill.

I wrote this to help martial artists, but frankly, if will help anyone who is a regular meditator who wants to concentrate on cultivating internal energies for special abilities and/or powers, and if you liked the Little Book of Hercules, this is right up your alley. It’s has helped all my students who are not martial artists because they’ve learned so much they have applied to their ordinary cultivation practice.

You can find the book at https://www.createspace.com/3739551

This is quite different than most martial arts books because it’s full of meaty content, and now has been updated to give more details discussions on actual inner cultivation energy techniques, and how to dissolve inner blockages.

So finally these two paperbacks are done, and I hope you pick them up for yourself or order them for friends. The price goes up at the New Year, so act now and help support our humble publishing efforts at the same time.

I hope to be releasing two new paperback books in December, if all goes well. Stay tuned for the announcement of publication coming soon. I’m hoping they’ll be ready in time for Christmas as, because of the topics (martial arts and how to meditate), they might even be given as gifts. But more on that later …

Right now I’m looking ahead to the economy in 2012, and see it much more volatile than in 2011. Remember when I warned you that we were already in a recession back in 2007 when the government said no problem? The cracks will accelerate next year, which might see massive changes in the financial system the world over, especially with the Euro crisis. The key is survival because we are in a Great Recession right now regardless as to what the talking heads tell you. That means jobs, income, the worth of your currency, and even access to your money (to do with it as you please) are all at stake.

It appears that every sixty year period (that’s roughly three generations) in history usually sees a country suffering from some form of depression, war, plague or natural catastrophe that hurts the majority of the population. Right now, for us, the problem is economics because we’ve luckily avoided the problem of the government bringing a war to our shores. Can you thrive in such difficult economic times? What do you need to know when people are losing their houses and jobs, and government stimulus does nothing since most of manufacturing and customer service jobs (like call centers) have been exported to lower wage countries? How do you protect your money, and your future (such as job prospects)?

Previously I sent people to watch the Mad Hedge Fund Trader videos for his explanation of the coming trends in the world, and what the hedge funds do to make money with these trends. Some bought gold (all the central banks are doing this, as forecast), some are buying farmland (some countries are doing this, too), some are getting ready to short interest rates because they expect them to rise. People sent me tons of thank you messages, and that guy made more in 2011 than most all of Wall Street, which has lost money.

Now I want you to watch the following videos on what to do to preserve your wealth, and even grow it into the future. One of the key strategies used is infinite banking, and I wish I had known about this when I was younger so I could have set this up. (”Bank on Yourself,” by Pamela Yellen, explains a similar concept):

http://theelevationgroup.net/whattoexpect/?a_aid=6d137ec0&a_bid=418a665e

This is priceless to learn just by watching. This is the type of information I wanted when I was in my twenties and thirties, but which was not available. If you are in that age group, don’t contact me about getting in the STAGES course – get this stuff instead. Get it, watch it, even refund it it if you must, but this is what you need to know to get started building your nest egg so that by your forties you’re all set. If you have a steady job and steady income, get this, and consider setting up the type of infinite banking concepts they discuss. This type of information is so valuable to those who are young and getting started because they have more time to put it into action, and reap the benefits.

If you are already in your 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, then you need to see this as well because you already have wealth and need to know how to preserve it, and grow it, in a way that is immune to the volatility of the markets and the US government’s power to come in and grab it. This next year will be the year of CHANGES. You can no longer depend on the economy or the government or the union for your job security. You cannot even guarantee that financial institutions will protect your wealth, as the recent problem with Corzine (and Madoff prior to this) shows.

It comes down to this: “How do you protect and even grow your money during this economic crisis?” Watch this guy and listen to not just his 15 strategies on wealth, but his explanation of how the big millionaires use a concept called infinite banking to grow their money safely.

http://theelevationgroup.net/whattoexpect/?a_aid=6d137ec0&a_bid=418a665e

Meditationexpert.com is all about WISDOM and BEHAVIOR, and knowing what to do for certain objectives, such as surviving and prospering over the next three years. We haven’t had to worry about that for a long time but now our past excesses have caught up with us, and this is the period of reckoning where a lot of financial problems have to get fixed, and that will mean pain to many in the country. I hope this helps.

Happy Holidays…

Steve Jobs passed away. Many praise him for having created unique products that not only had style, but which served customer needs as no other products could. In short, Apple products had their own unique selling points, or characteristics by which they stood out from the crowd and appealed to people, causing customers to become raving fans. All his products differntiated themselves by having a unique selling proposition.

People in the world are employed by businesses which supply products and services. If you want your business to succeed in the vast ocean of competition, you need some way for it to be different and stand out. You need a way by which its products and services can both satisfy cutomer needs while representing a unique value they can get nowhere else. That is the basis of a USP. A USP will help your company survive and prosper, and protect the jobs of its employees due to its success.

To help the small businessman succeed in these tasks, which leads to more employment and a stronger nation, I’ve just released How to Create a Million Dollar Unique Selling Proposition. The details:

What short marketing message can you create in order to instantly tap into the core buying desires of your prospects and customers so they buy from you and not your competition? What do you say so that your products or services start getting noticed and jump to the head of the pack in a crowded marketplace?

If you haven’t created that strategic advertising message for your business, products or services, then you’re unnecessarily losing sales, customers and money. Finding that message, and then promoting it throughout all your marketing and advertising mediums, is the strategic secret to dramatic sales growth and market dominance.

That attractive message that attracts prospects and wins them to your offerings is the USP, or Unique Selling Proposition, which broadcast the unique advantages of your product or service to the marketplace.

A USP promises big, bold benefits to potential customers. It positions your product or service as being entirely unique and dramatically different from the offerings of everyone else, and it is written in such a way that it is believable without challenge. It positions your product or service as being the obvious choice over all the competitive options, including the option of doing nothing at all, and is worded in such a way that not only is it naturally credible, but prospects can immediately understand it and easily remember it.

Basically, a Unique Selling Proposition attractively encapsulates the unique benefits of your product or service in an attention getting, memorable way so that potential customers are compelled to buy from you rather than from anyone else.

There are ten different ways you can set about to try to create the perfect USP for a business, product or service. If you work through those ten methods, which can be done in about one to two hours (sometimes less), you can create a killer USP in record time and then use it to increase your sales and align your entire marketing strategy.

More than just theory, this book gives you those ten proven formulas for crafting your Unique Selling Proposition, or USP, that instantly taps into your prospect’s core buying desires.

Plus, in this book you’ll see countless examples of how powerhouses like Fedex, Domino’s Pizza and others owe their stunning success to their breakthrough USPs. You will even learn how to create a USP for yourself as a means of personal branding that will help you when searching for new career opportunities, and you can even use it to craft a short elevator speech that will help you win new clients. Whether for a business or person, the USP is the basis of niche marketing.

The bottom line is: Great businesses, products, services and people have great USP’s, mediocre and losing businesses either don’t have one, or don’t have a good one. This book is the definitive source on how to create and use a killer unique selling proposition for your major marketing needs that will form the basis of your marketing strategy and catapult your company’s sales to the next level.

A Japanese publisher recently contacted me wanting the rights to republish my Radiation Detox book in Japanese. They said they wanted two years to translate and put the book into print.

“That’s not going to help anybody,” I said. “People in Japan need the information right now if it’s going to help at all and save lives.” Here’s an example article as to why:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/vivian-norris-de-montaigu/deadly-silence-on-fukushi_b_859241.html

Such a strange, slow schedule for wanting to translate and then print up a 124-page book when a county is in jeopardy and needs that very information. Seems a very stupid way to make money for a publisher, too, and almost a way to delay information rather than act in the spirit of helpfulness. It can be translated in about 2 weeks, so why a 2 year delay?

The prospective deal was quashed.

I told the company’s representative that I had already given my blessing and permission for some other Japanese parties to translate, print up and disseminate for free whatever sections of the book they would like in order to help the people, and they were going to do so within a three week period. So let this blog post be official notice that if you also wish to translate the materials into Japanese and do the same, you have the rights and my full permission to translate whatever sections of this book you feel worthwhile (please edit it), as long as you do the normal references to the source. And if you can improve it, please do so. If you want to do the whole thing, please do so. I dopn’t want any monies from it. Obviously the idea of letting a large publisher handle it to get the information out failed, so it’s up to you.

I wrote this book for emergencies just like this (and worse) because no one else was thinking ahead to answer the most improtant question, WHAT DO WE DO IF THIS HAPPENS, and so had not done anything. Already it has been used as the basis for even better materials to come out, which was the plan. So please translate it and publish it in Japan to help the nation. The Japanese language rights are free and herbey granted to anyone who wants to do anything with it to help the people.

Where is the book? People seem to be passing around the wrong link even though it’s on the front of our site in the navigation, on the products page and in the blog. The link is

www.meditationexpert.com/RadiationDetox/

First a word about the terrible tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster in Japan. Yes, as predicted so many people downloaded my free “Radiation Detox” ebook, that I wrote years ago in case something like this (or worse) would ever happen, that my server crashed and bandwidth was used up. Therefore I moved it to my meditation site server which has lots of available bandwidth capacity. In case you still want the information, you can now download it and see the whole story behind its creation at

http://www.MeditationExpert.com/RadiationDetox/

Yes, you can pass around that link and post on Facebook, twitter it and so on. The server can handle it.

It is silly how many in the US are losing their heads over this problem and buying all sorts of emergency products when they are not at risk. The lack of common sense is astounding. I always say that it is had to teach the dharma to people who lack common sense in that if they get common sense things wrong, how can they understand higher spiritual matters. But alas, that is the fate of human beings.

This catastrophe is why I have to say once again that we need many more seed banks placed everywhere in the world. Yes, MULTIPLE SEED BANKS, one of my improtant issues.

The insufficient number of these is another MAJOR oversight by those who should be thinking of the future. If there is ever a major war it is seeds that the armies will want to grab and take home after all is over. After all, life has to return to normal and without agricultural capabilities you will be in trouble.

When the Russians entered Berlin at the end of WWII do you know what they went after with haste?

They went after the Gestapo files so that they could have the dirt on important people. That was a top priority. Invading armies always go after the secret police files first so they can find who was a collaborator, who did what, etc. and can then use that information in the future to blackmail important people (in the government and society) after all dust settles again.

You probably didn’t know that because you were not trained to think this way, and that’s why it escapes people that seeds would be ultra-important after a major nuclear disaster, such as war. The big prize would be non-contaminated, pristine non-GMO seeds, and so we need to sponsor many seed banks all over the world to protect from future catastrophes. Our politicians the world over like to think they are statesmen and spend mega-billions to keep each country at the military forefront (which definitely should be an objective) but hardly any of these individuals steps forward and demands that we spend $20-30 million on a few seed banks to preserve the future.

I don’t want people waking up to this after it’s too late, so once again I have to stand up and issue the warning yet again. I’m nobody, but I have to say it because maybe you’re a somebody who I can reach, so you need to think about these issues.

Do not leave our agricultural future of seed heritages in the hands of purely profit motivated firms like Monsanto because their actions will, as did the banks, end up leading to future agricultural disasters when the right perfect storm hits, and it will in time. Easy to see, easy to predict, easy to prevent but I doubt the statesmen will reign in what needs to be done.

In Buddhism there is something called “Right Livelihood,” or a virtuous work livelihood. A friend wrote me that he was making a presentation in Germany on right livelihood and needed a quote. I told him most people do not understand this. Soldiers fighting a war to protect their country, for instance, are practicing right livelihood even though most people hear “soldier” and think of the killing, and then think otherwise. Wrong, all countries need to be protected. A strong and capable military is not just necessary but an honorable calling.

Now consider case #2. A banker who starts initiating mortgage loans to the unqualified and starts selling those bad mortgage loans to others, justifying the lapse in high credit standards by saying to himself it will all wash out in the averages, is just cheating himself and not practicing right livelihood. You hear “banker” and immediately think “right livelihood,” but no – a man is defined by his actions, and the wrong motives and actions with foresight negate the label.

So similarly, decisions on the future of agriculture must be made on what is best for the people, and not what maximizes profits. It is now in the hands of people without foresight, and in the hands of “errant men of business” who have all sorts of excuses for their actions, but of whom 60 Minutes will have a field day and we will all suffer when a catastrophe strikes (such as the 5000 farmers in India who committed suicide due to the failure of their GMO seeds – this reminds me of the Nestle baby formula trajedy where thousands died because of unscrupulous marketing practices).

Yes, I know this sort of effort at agricultrual control is in league with national strategic hegemony plans, but they are playing it wrong. If this trend does not stop, the catastrophe from terminator seeds and the like will be bigger than the banking crisis. I kid you not. So, we need more seed banks and a rethink of who’s controlling our agricultural future and if the actions being allowed are in the best interests of the people. If not the results can be fatal for the public. But I digress.

Alright, enough of my “high on my horse” preaching … why the email? Because I wanted to send you another FREE gift. Someone sent me a 20+ year old video of Master Nan performing the 9-bottled wind on Youtube, so I’m sending you there so you can see the hand movements and body posture. I describe this practice in my books and articles, but you need a video to see it performed. This is the best overall pranayama technique I have ever found, and other pranayama experts tell me is the best they have tried, too.

Yes, I know the video is in Chinese language. Just ignore the Chinese language and WATCH for the posture and hand positions, and then go look up the descriptions which are too long for this email. The description of the practice is found in Twenty Five Doors and in many of our articles and publications. The video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqmTqJgkFEI&feature=related

By the way, if you watch a lot of videos for work or fun, what I’m about to tell you will change your life. Go buy a copy of Enounce MYSpeed which can speed up video viewing viewing time by 3X and cut the amount of time you have to spend watching important lessons. This will transform your life. Absolutely. You can find it here.

Enjoy the Free Gifts, and remember that to succeed in cultivation you need to exercise your WISDOM. Spiritual cultivation is not about sitting in a cave somewhere meditating in solitude but also about stepping out and making efforts to do what is right for society, not what is profitable, and your efforts do matter

We are getting near one of those important junctures in the market — QE2, the stimulus plan of the Federal government, will end in June. Cycles show that the market may turn in May in anticipation of this drop off of easy credit and low interest rates.

On top of this, the “Dogs of the Dow” strategy has an interesting cyclical profile, and Japanese stocks (EWJ) do too. Look for a contrarian low point in a few months.

Where can you find all these projections so you can make money or save money, specifically the value of your 401K? Just for this month only I’ve made my Dow forecast newsletter available for free. You can download it at

The multiple reactor problems in Japan after the tsunami – the risk of a meltdown
and contaminants spreading everywhere – have prompted me to write. I once wrote a
book, “Help Support Your Body’s Healing After Intense Radioactive or Radiation
Exposure” for exactly this and other radiation type emergencies. It’s totally free,
I’ve never made any money off it, and is designed to review the information about
what people have done after severe radiation exposure or exposure to radioactive
contaminants. Basically, they go on special diets heavy in sea vegetables to bind
any contaminants they ingest.

The book is at http://www.meditationexpert.com/RadiationDetoxDraft.pdf .

You canreadthe whole story behind it at:

MeditationResearch.com/RadiationDetox/

Why this book? What’s in it?

It occured to me that in case of a nuclear power plant problem (which seems to
happen every few years), or dirty bomb or nuclear war or anything else, people
should know what to do to protect themselves after something happens. The countries
of the world spend hundreds of millions of dollars on nuclear weapons and deterrence every year, and have giant organizations organizd around these issues, but spend virtually nothing on research as to what the population should do if they are
exposed to these things. Strange with all the money available and size of personnel
involved in the overall apparatus.

There’s nothing substantial out there except the normal “take potassium iodide”
information. Nothing, zippo, nada except stuff like “stay away from the windows” and “stay indoors and keep the house sealed as much as possible. Drink bottled water, stay away from milk and garden produce.” What about exposure?

It’s sort of an oversight to spend this gargantuan amount of money on everything except what you need to know just in case all this stuff happens, which they spend millions to prevent, so I took it upon myself to make an offering by taking a few years to collect any and all public information I could find on what to do for most types of radiation exposures and put it together in a book for humanity. I’m a nobody in the world but there it is. Send it to who needs it. It’s best if you download it and send it because every time this happens the server breaks down because of bandwidth usage from so many downloads. So download it and send it yourself in your own email, and preserve my bandwidth so someone else who needs it can get the information.

Everyone knows that the government will tell them to take potassium iodide in the
case of a nuclear plant emergency, so I didn’t need to cover that. But what did
people exactly do in a case of a Chernobyl or Nagasaki?

Here are some tidbits from the book, which I never bothered to clean up and make
pretty …

At the time of the atomic bombing of Japan, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D. was Director
of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s Hospital in Nagasaki and fed
his staff and patients a strict diet of brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup,
wakame, kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt and prohibited the
consumption of sugar and sweets. Sugars and sweets were forbidden because they
suppress the immune system! Because of this diet — which was rich in sea vegetables
– he saved everyone in his hospital while many other survivors perished from the
radiation sickness. (Tatsuichiro Akuziki, M.D. Nagasaki 1945, London Quarter books,
1981).

So after the Nagasaki bombing, people who ate a strict macrobiotic diet — including
brown rice and miso soup with sea vegetables — did not suffer from radiation
poisoning even though they were within a mile of the explosion. The high iodine
content of their diet may have been extremely helpful on this account because if
proper amounts of natural “healthy” iodine already exist in the thyroid gland, then
it cannot absorb any other forms of iodine, such as the radioactive iodine
contaminant.

Also,…

In 1968 a group of Canadian researchers at McGill University of Montreal, headed by
Dr. Stanley Skoryna, studied the question as to whether seaweed could help rid the
body of radioactive toxins (Skoryna S.C. et al, “Intestinal Absorption of
Radioactive Strontium,” Canadian Medical Association Journal 191: 285-88, 1964). Dr.
Skoryna and his team were trying to devise a method to counteract the effects of
nuclear fallout and reported that sodium alginate from brown algae “permitted
calcium to be normally absorbed through the intestinal wall while binding most of
the strontium. The sodium alginate and strontium was subsequently excreted from the
body. The experiments were designed to devise a method to counteract the effects of
nuclear fallout and radiation.”

The key finding of this study was identifying that sea vegetables contained a
polysaccharide substance — called sodium alginate which is present in large
quantities in brown algae such as Laminarae (kelp), Fucus (bladderwrack) and
Ascophyllum (fertilizer seaweed) — that selectively bound radioactive strontium and
eliminated it from the body.

It turns out that in case after case, researchers ended up using heavy metal
chelators and sea vegetables, like kelp or algae, to bind the heavy radioactive
contaminants people ingested, and kept people on diets that did not suppress their
immune systems to see protection and recovery. An important function of the sea
vegetables in helping our bodies fight radiation poisoning is the fact that they
contain Iodine-127 which will be absorbed by our thyroid and thus prevent the uptake
of radioactive, toxic Iodine-131.

What is the best chelator for the heavy radioactive contaminants? Some will say
kelp, some chlorella, some spirulina and some will say “Modifilan” because of its
multiple benefits (Modifilan is the one I like best). In any case, you can read the
book. It’s nothing special except information you need to know in cases like this. I
simply wrote it as an offering therefore I have to write to let you know it’s there
and you can send it to those who are worried or might need the info.

I once wrote a long piece on karma and relationships.

For the past several thousands of years, couples needed one another to survive in an agrarian society. That helped cement the marriage bond between partners who had a life expectancy of 40-years old …

Not anymore. Women can get decent jobs all on their own, which is great. That means they can leave a bad relationship any time they want, too, which is also a bonus.

Society no longer pushes people to stay together.

Television paints a picture of fun, fun, fun and beer-commercial-heaven which a relationship is not, so expectations are large and people have no patience anymore.

We could write gobs on this, but I found a nice article in the Huffington Post by someone who looked hard at what’s wrong from the woman’s side. The man’s side has issues as well, of course.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tracy-mcmillan/why-youre-not-married_b_822088.html

We love intorducing quality information to people, especially when it comes to finances. Over this next 4-5 years real estate is not going to recover. The 25 million jobs the US gave away to China and other emerging markets are not coming back to these shores either. An entire generation of jobs was given away.

Those jobs are gone thanks to our free trade agreements and globalization and the internet, and they are not coming back no matter how much money the US government spends. We could spend billions and you will not see a single new job come back or created. We have to manufacture things to create jobs. This means that high levels of unemployment are to be expected going forward and this will become clear over the next 4 years. Unemployment is now structural and permanent.

So what do you do to make money? What do you do after QE2 runs out?

John Thomas, one of the founders of the international hedge fund industry, one of today’s top performing hedge fund managers, and 40 year veteran of the financial markets, recently provided his forecast of Six major moves for 2011 that can make you rich or miserable. John recently showed smart investors how to make 17% in his December private coaching portfolio, and has been up over 25% for 2011 so far. Hundreds of hedge funds consult him, and now you know why.

John worked for the Economist, and is consulted by the CIA and heads of state for his macro global “big picture” investment advice which he reveals in this FREE video that we thought you should see. The information has President Obama and Ben Bernanke sweating bullets at night if the trends come true, which is happening right now …

In a just released FREE video, John reveals why at this moment we are sitting in the greatest macro, i.e. “big picture,” trading environment of our lifetimes. The rule is that “Crisis = Opportunity,” and the US is in a severe unemployment, real estate, budget deficit, trade balance, inflation and debt crisis as is the rest of the world. In this short video, he lays out a dizzying array of profit opportunities and the risks you need to sidestep if you want to make 2011 your best financial year ever.

This is one of the few times that one of the financial elite has taken the small guy investor under his wing and spoken frankly to reveal exactly how the big “macro players,” such as George Soros, Jimmy Rogers and Paul Tudor Jones, think and trade. This class of super investors are not government mouth pieces but put their own money at risk, and try to profit from mega world trends which John is revealing but which you will not hear analyzed on television. You can sometimes mirror their activities and capture the same trades in your IRA accounts through easy to trade ETFs, options and stock investments.

This is a 100% FREE video briefing revealing the risks and opportunities barreling down on traders (AND your bank account) in the next 12 months. It’s very timely and explains what you should think about for the year ahead. This just-released 2011 market forecast video will either make you wealthy if you catch these trends … or miserable if you don’t. You can either be on the right side of these market moves that the hedge fund managers will be going after, or on the wrong side of the market and weeping once again.

We suggest you watch the videos in sequence or you can check out Macro Millionaire Coaching.

Many folks have asked me, because I used to work in Wall Street doing similar things, about the Macro Millionaire Coaching Program offered by Mad  Hedge Fund Trader John Thomas. I give it two thumbs up. In fact his track record in December through January, as I write this, is up over 25% on a portfolio already. This is outstanding. It’s one reason why I recommended him for folks to look at.

But that is not the main reason why I introduced him to blog readers…it was because of quality. Rememeber I try to tell you thinks others are not telling you — how the world really works — and so this is a voice of reason. I once told you about the recession we were in far before the governemnt had to admit it, and now I will tell you we are not out of it. What looks like “being out” is just a paper balloon that will suddenly pop and send us down worse than before sometime later this year.

You have to listen to what John Thomas says about the future trends of the US economy, interest rates, jobs and real estate. Bernanke is probably not sleeping at night because of these worries … basically jobs are not coming back without manufacturing returning, as I tell you over and over again. Obama just admitted as much on TV. But “rah, rah the US is great and we will overcome the challenge”, as he likes to say in speeches,  will not do anything.  In fact, I have a book coming out later on exactly what the US needs to do to prevent standards of living from falling and becoming more like a Third World country over the next 8-10 years, which WILL HAPPEN.

In any case, John Thomas, the Macro Millionaire expert of global macro hedge fund trading trends, has just released a new video you might want to watch: Six Major Trends for 2011 That Will Make You Rich or Miserable

If you are interested in the Macro Millionaire Coaching Program, click on this link to find out more information here including his track record, experience qualifications, world views, how to trade like a hedge fund, and so forth:

Most of all, educate yourself, and have your friends watch this. Clip the link, send and have them learn. More jobs will be lost over the next five years, not gained. Real estate will continue to fall, just as I said. When interest rates finally rise, which MUST happen, the economy will tank. Inflation will rise in the meantime. And …

On and on it will go. This happens once every 60-some years, but this time what was supposed to happen in 1987 was inflated away, and because of that piling on of monetary expansion and inflation over twenty years, the final deflation of asset prices will be severe.

I expect a bottom in either 2012 or late 2014/early 2015 (not later) so watch the videos and start learning how to think like a hedge fund manager rather than an empty talking head on television. With John Thomas you have a chance to get rich in 2011 or be miserable. Funny title, but a little true. The right trend always makes money and the unexpected bear that hits the public always empties wallets and IRA funds and so forth. Hopefully this info will help.

Hercules is Coming

Very soon the new book on Hercules is coming for the final chapters are being completed. I am sure this new book will rock the market because the contents include some of the firsts of their kind in print, especially about certain stages of Taoist cultivation, Tibetan Vajrayana, Biblical Jewish cultivation, Egyptian cultivation schools, the Indian Nath yoga tradition and so on which have never been disclosed. Secrets, BIG secrets until now …

Basically, here’s what you need to know about the path of spiritual cultivation that comes through in the book, which is a good synopsis of the path in general. You should already know this, but I have collapsed it down to simplicity, just as in the Hercules book.

All genuine religions, spiritual schools and traditions employ a variety of cultivation practices, or meditation methods, which are designed to help you achieve a quiet mind. This is the basic beginner’s spiritual path so a lot of spiritual practices help you do this. Because thoughts die down from practicing these techniques, this resulting mental quiet or silence is called peacefulness, cessation, calming, stopping, purity, emptiness, empty mind or any number of other pertinent synonyms. Your mind empties of loud, busy thoughts and so you experience peace.

When the mind quiets, proper spiritual practice is that you must remain aware (rather than try to suppress thoughts from arising) and that awareness practice is called witnessing, observing, contemplating, knowing, prajna, introspection, awareness and so on. As the mind quiets, you continue to watch the mental scenarios of the mind but without attaching to them. This is cessation-witnessing practice, also known as mindfulness, rememberance or “vipassana.” The two principles of cessation and witnessing are inherent in all spiritual practices. ALL spiritual practices. The important thing is that you learn how to let go of thoughts, called detachment, in order that wandering thoughts (the monkey mind) dies down so that the stage of cessation finally arrives. That’s why you practice meditation.

Because the gradual calming of your mind means you are letting go of thoughts (which is why they are able to die down in the first place), and because chi and consciousness (thoughts) are linked, as you let go of thought attachments you are also letting go of clinging to the chi in your body. Normally you’re pushing your chi around all the time, especially in your head, but with meditation you learn to let go of this consciousness-chi-body connection. You learn how to let it function without interference, which is what happens in a perfectly healthy body.

Chi and thoughts are linked; by letting go of thoughts you are not interfering with your chi flow anymore. Attaching to the chi of your body and physical energy sensations is something you are always subconsciously doing but you don’t realize it because you are so used to the habit. From countless lives you are used to this habit, so it takes time to break it. Once you learn how to truly let go and be free, with nothing pulling your chi this way or that way anymore because you have learned how to let go of thoughts, the real chi of the body will start to arise and its natural circulation will start to resume. Thus it is said, “From the stillness of yin (quiet), yang will arise.”

That yang chi is called kundalini, which is the real chi of the body as opposed to the wind chi that people are always playing with as they practice most spiritual techniques. When the yang chi of the body finally arises, it will open up your chi channels and chakras naturally. There is nothing you need to do to prompt this other than cultivate an empty, non-clinging mind. There is nothing you need to know other than how to be quiet and let go to experience the peace. Your outer physical body, due to the yang chi resultantly arising, will experience transformational phenomena as this happens called spiritual “gong-fu.”

Your inner subtle chi body will also transform and purify the more you let go of thoughts and let your mind quiet. Your chi will purify as well, and thus your emotions and habit energies. Your physical and energetic bodies will start purifying because you are finally letting go of clinging to your chi, and so it will revert to its natural circulation – the way it is supposed to flow in a perfectly healthy individual before thought attachments warp it this way or that. Thoughts are supposed to come up all the time – you aren’t supposed to suppress them – but you should not cling to them.

The transformation of your body that results from your ascending chi results in a purification of your physical nature, but because chi and consciousness are linked, your mind will reach a higher stage of purity (emptiness) as well. So a quiet empty mind leads to your chi arising, your chi arising leads to the purification of your chi, channels and chakras, that purification leads to a greater degree of mental purity or emptiness, and the two components body and mind reach ever increasing levels of purity until eventually from that purified foundation one can achieve samadhi.

All from just learning how to let go…

The forthcoming Little Book of Hercules explains all the chi and body phenomena that happen along the beginnings of this process … what we must call “beginner’s spiritual gong-fu” for attaining the Reward body, or sambhogakaya. You’ll find out that the ancient mystery schools of the west knew as many of these phenomena as the eastern schools, but while the evidence is right before your eyes you’ve probably missed it. This new book will reveal it.

Now because of samadhi, a wise person who has the right teachings (and thus view) can eventually detach from consciousness to realize the clear base of awareness that is always present with being or existence. But since that clear awareness is just a function of the original nature, recognizing that pristine empty awareness that knows is not full enlightenment yet. What gives birth to that awareness is the original nature or fundamental essence, God, Allah, Brahman, or whatever your wish to call the true self. No one really knows how to describe It, so it is also called the Unknown One. When one realizes that original fundamental ground nature or essence, one becomes enlightened, or realizes their true self. Hence the term “self-realization.”

In the universe we go for countless lives, countless eons searching for everything but our true self. When beings find their true self, they finally become spiritually free, liberated, saved. It all starts with spiritual cultivation. While religion will not lead you to this, spiritual practice will and the proper sort of spiritual practice, and stage of gong-fu you will resultantly pass though as you make progress on this hero’s journey will all be revealed in the Little Book of Hercules when it soon comes out.

As to our latest paperback release on Amazon.com, Spiritual Paths and Their Meditation Techniques, the price has risen in December as I said it would but you can still order it in time for Christmas: http://amzn.to/cuF1vE . A great book to teach you what you should be doing and where you should NOT BE WASTING YOU TIME in spiritual practice. This will save you years of effort and I wish I had the information when I get started. Like all our books, we speak directly with no nonsense and try to put in as much information as possible so that just one of our volumes is the equivalent of reading dozens of other books out there.

Many wrote to thank me about the information from John Thomas, the hedge fund trader and his synopsis of world trends. I already made money on his advise, and my friends as well, and it came from his email newsletter which is free. Enlightenment is not just about spiritual practice but worldy wisdom… understanding the world and how to skillfully deal with the world. Many enlightened masters were doctors, some were politicians, some businessmen, some martial artists, some cooks and many other occupations, too. They weren’t just all monks or nuns. If a king found a man of Tao in his kingdom he would try to employ him as a minister because they were easily competent in all things.

The universe is endless and you must start learning about all dharmas if they can help others and yourself. Start here: http://bit.ly/fxf4Ck Pass to friends. As I’ve been writing elsewhere, if America does not invent something new and big and does so fast, job declines will continue and there’s nothing all the rah-rah patriotism can do about it. As Wikileaks proves, and as I try to point out all the time,  what the government says to the public is different from the reality of the way things really are. Without jobs, which we’ve offshored, we’re cooked compared to emerging markets competitors and lower standards of living are here to stay. To protect your income and retirement, watch these videos, learn this information (he’ll have several in series, such as a recent one on currencies so you know where to put your monies in your IRA via ETFs):

Speaking of diverse things, along these lines of the fact you should study many disciplines, we hope to release a new book on combining spiritual parenting with practical education, a book on small business marketing, multi-generational income and several other non-fiction titles next year. More when that happens …

And lastly, please take the time to avail yourself of a personalized Karma Calculator reading of the upcoming events for 2011, 2012, and 2013 in your life before the special December discount ends. It’s just $50 for several years and I often throw in more years beyond the special deal listed. But come January 1 the special is finally over as previously stated. This is a great Christmas gift for yourself or someone else (you just need the birth time, birth date and birth location) and will help you prepare for the years ahead. It’s dirt cheap compared to the $250 normally charged for just one year from a Vedic or Chinese astrologer. Someone wisely told me that if you want to mantra to change your fortune this will tell you what to mantra about.

It’s at http://www.karmacalculator.com/order.html

If you have an IRA, 401k or any other type of savings or investing account I highly recommend you go watch this presentation:

http://bit.ly/fxf4Ck

This is the last gift I can give you for 2010. Watch it and share it with anyone who you know is saving or investing for retirement, who wants to buy a house, or who just wants to understand world trends and what the next ten years are going to bring. Sharing this is an easy way to do a good deed and gain some “financial merit” because this will dramatically increase your worldly wisdom about money.

If you think you’re too “spiritual” to worry about money you’re fooling yourself – having money and NOT being attached to it is what lets you be more charitable, be more influential and be a more effective positive force in the world. This information will help you get to that position yourself. To be a leader you have to know this stuff and learn to think this way … finally I found some guy who put this in a video (the sort of information I hammer into my Stages students all the time).

If you’re a cultivator I always say it’s your responsibility to understand how the world really works. Confucians, for example, are “ashamed when they find something they don’t know.” Because the only way to be effective in the world is to see it clearly.

And in this remarkable presentation one of the founding fathers of the international hedge fund industry explains the big global trends around the world and why we are where we are.

Including what big companies like Goldman Sachs are REALLY betting on right now. And how you can help yourself, your friends and your family recover what they may have lost in the financial crisis or grow their nest eggs using this same worldview and information.

Just ignore the title “How to play the commodities boom” (because it’s not really about that) and get past the first few minutes where the man (John Thomas) establishes his credentials, and then sit back for a presentation usually only privately given to the mega-wealthy telling them where to put their dollars because that’s where the macro trends are going.

These are the trends you’ll normally only hear about after most of the rich insiders have made their money. They are not secret, but you just won’t ever hear this information. These are the forces shaping the US right now, and the world, and what will prosper as the recession continues.

On “60 Minutes” Ben Bernake just revealed what I have been telling people – the employment will not be here for years because we offshored manufacturing and sent many jobs overseas that are not coming back. You need to know that lower living standards are a definite for the next generation of Americans because of countless mistakes made in all sorts of policy directions.

But that does not mean you cannot become financially independent anymore or that you cannot do anything to protect yourself and prosper, which is what cultivation is also about. If you have the information, as in this video, you can prosper safely following what the big boys do (you just never hear this information – I am so glad a Stages student sent this to me so I can pass it on to you).

This is the best short video to get you up to speed that I can give you. I write about these topics on the blog and in my books, but this guy has put it all together and he’s fascinating. The information on population pyramids, how countries are producing a giant inflationary risk in the future that will dictate your decisions, what gold will do, why people are switching from paper assets, the prospects for residential real in the foreseeable future, … all this is invaluable to saving you money or making you money.

So because of how badly the financial crisis hurt so many good people I urge you to watch this, retrain your mind to start thinking of things this way, and share it with anyone you know who has a savings or investing account or who is thinking of buying property next year. You will learn a lot from this, especially how to think as you protect yourself and your family in the years ahead. They do not teach you what he has to say on television or in the news.

So consider this a rare opportunity for you as a spiritual cultivator to develop your financial wisdom.

P.S. Learning how to think this way is a great skill to master. This is how George Soros got rich, how Jimmy Rogers got rich, how Paul Tudor Jones got rich, how the largest hedge funds made their money while everyone else slept and how you can help yourself not get caught in what the next years will bring as the US economy struggles and other countries decouple. I warned everyone about this recession long before the government finally recognized it and this info will prepare you for what’s coming these next five years because from my own financial forecasting work (I used to work in Wall Street) it’s pretty scary with ups and severe downs between now and 2015. Frankly I’m tired of writing about all this and people not believing me. This guy has a great series of videos that will finally educate you. And yes, ignore his sales talk if you don’t like it; that’s why he made the video in the first place, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get this information, so I’m thankful. Soak up his way of thinking, that’s the important thing! He’s definitely one of the brightest guys I have found in a long, long time and has a lot of information to offer (especially in the other videos I saw). May you prosper in 2011 with this sort of info, and please pass it onwards to others who might benefit.
